Kindle Fire is the killer for Android Tablet
United States Internet retail giant Amazon recently said that the company’s new Kindle Fire tablet sales were very hot during Thanksgiving “Black Friday”, in this quarter , Kindle Fire is expected to be sold 6 million units. In addition, messages from another consumer electronics retailer Best Buy that the price of $ 199 Kindle Fire beat the iPad 2, sat on the number one position in best buy’s best-selling plate.
Is Kindle Fire killer for iPad?
Scheduled release of the first month is 1.5 million, one-quarter shipments is 6 million, which showed it has high consumer recognition, on the surface, Kindle Fire does have become potential iPad killer. We might as well take a look at iPad what are the advantages compared to Kindle Fire.
First of all, Kindle Fire is very cheap, the cheapest version of Apple iPad2 cost up to $ 499, and the Amazon Kindle Fire sells for $ 199, which means that even the cheapest iPad is enough to buy two and a half of Kindle Fire. A full $ 300 price difference has to allow consumers to reconsider whether the iPad is worthwhile to buy, after all, nobody cannot get through their wallet.
Second, the Kindle Fire supports Flash, which may not is a selling point, but there are not very different. Although Flash is inefficient and bad reputation, but many Web sites, and network services that require this functionality to support, and that’s exactly what is iPad missing. For we all know that the ipad only support mov file and mp4, even we can not rip dvd to ipad for mac directly, other common video formats can not be support by it, if you want to play them on the ipad, the best way is to use a dvd to ipad mac converter.
Third, the size is correct and convenient to carry. As with most Android tablet, Kindle Fire uses a 7-inch screen, the user can use one hand to easily hold, not only the size is smaller than 10-inch iPad, its weight is more lightweight. Kindle Fire weight is approximately 14.6 oz (413.9 grams) than 21.3 ounces of Apple iPad ($ 603.8 grams) .it are much lighter and easier to carry.
Four, content and services are based on the Amazon platform, will become the core values of Kindle Fire. Amazon’s huge amount of video, music, and eBook resources are sufficient to enable the Android Tablet machine alone in the sea, but also have the courage to compete with Apple, which is located at selling at a loss of confidence.
In view of this, all the signs indicated that Kindle Fire seemed to really become the iPad killer, but in my view, is not necessarily the case.
First, there is no denying that Kindle Fire was a successful product, but the Tablet market is big enough, even if Kindle Fire has surpassed the iPad in some way, it does not mean living space of the iPad will be lost. Market research firm Forrester Research estimates that there will be 200 million people worldwide have a tablet computer by 2015. Such a huge market, whether the Apple iPad or Amazon Kindle Fire, no other company has the ability to take exclusive possession of any one product.
Second, the iPad and Kindle Fire two market position is not the same, it’s hard to say it will have an impact on iPad sales. Amazon is clearly Apple and its advantages and disadvantages, and did not like the other Android makers to tailor hardware configuration of the old road, if you compare the Kindle Fire with iPad hardware indicators, you will find they are almost not comparable. Kindle Fire is only 7 inches, no 3G, no GPS, no camera, while the iPad is a 10-inch screen, almost functions are available. The core of IPad is that iOS system and hardware experience, a wealth of App Store applications, for who like experience-oriented, they are attracted to many people, the Amazon’s core strengths is that books and audio and video services. Can be found, upgraded version of the Kindle Fire is Kindle reader, only basic video, music, and Web browsing capabilities, even cannot afford to play complicated games, for those tablets are not demanding or user with limited budgets, and the iPad is more universal, suitable for sufficient budgets and on the Tablet PC experience requires a higher degree of population.
Kindle Fire is killer for Android Tablet
The author believed that Kindle Fire, to a certain extent can become iPad competitor, but not is the iPad killer. Kindle Fire can kill, precisely and with its other brand’s Android Tablet! I have to say that the Kindle Fire also can make 3d video by using a 3d video converter, then you can enjoy the perfect visual effect。
Why does say it? Before the brith of Android Tablet, there are called the “iPad killer” product, no less, but each one eventually died down, iPad remains firm. The reason is that content is less than the iPad, and the user experience is less than the iPad. And no profit is just paying attention to hardware configuration, instead of leading to high costs, eventually losing the unique price advantages. Now, just there has Kindle Fire that has a low price, was turned out, although the use experience is not good, at least its price is just $ 199. Kinde Fire also owns Amazon’s own app store, and in order to realize the difference, which even can not run the part of the Android application! It can be said that Kindle Fire has little effect on the iPad, but for other Android Tablet manufacturers, it is the rival of terror.
